The Mohrganna First Force Control (MFFC) insignia. This insignia is painted on all interception/superiority/bomber rated space craft. The First number is the squadron number (or zero if the unit doesn't belong to a squadron), and the bottom number is the units individual number. A full call-sign is the unit's home-ship and the two numbers in the insignia. E.G. "Volarion 0-5, you are clear to land in hangar-bay h29."

We do not use insignia, we use a rotating transponder frequency over which we broadcast a series of sounds regulated by a complex algorithm. It has been proven that using insignia is unwise.

This has to be on all Air Force aircraft, the other insignia would be the Squadrons.

Karakov, seeing the ursine delegate for the first time, mistook him for an actual bear. So he did what any person would do when confronted with a bear in the middle of an international meeting; he tried to shoot him.

Lucky for all of us, Karakov is a lousy shot.

"roundel" is a generic term for the national insignia used on military aircraft.

The first use of a roundel on military aircraft was during the First World War by the French Air Service. The chosen design was the French national cockade, whose colors are the blue-white-red of the Flag of France. Similar national cockades, with different ordering of colours, were designed and adopted as aircraft roundels by their allies, including the British Royal Flying Corps and the US Army Air Service. After the First World War, many other air forces adopted roundel insignia, distinguished by different colours or numbers of concentric rings.

Military aircraft insignia often are called roundels even when they are not round. Thus the Polish szachownica is considered a roundel, even though it is square.
